Horton Hears a Who Lessons… Part 1

hortonhearsawho

1. Katie: “In my world everyone is a pony, and they all eat rainbows, and poop butterflies.”

a. Thoughts: Oh boy. If only life really was this easy. If only everyone really were ponies, ate rainbows, and pooped butterflies. Too bad that’s not how life is most of the time… especially the Christian life! A lot of people preach as though the Christian life is the type where we just all eat rainbows, poop butterflies, and sing kum-ba-yah around campfires. The Lord promises us that in life, we’re going to have trials. Why are we going to have trials and temptations? Because even Jesus went through that! Jesus was persecuted and suffered, thus, we as Christians will suffer Wanna check it out in the Bible? It’s in John 15:18-21.

The Lord calls us to daily take up our Cross, and die to ourselves, in order to live for Him. As a result, we are going to suffer, but that suffering is what makes us stronger! In the words of Kanye West and his funky looking shutter shades, “That, that don’t kill us, will only make us stronger.” The suffering that we go through, is EXACTLY what God uses to break us, mold us, then use us.

Country Cuban

Ileana Ortiz (a.k.a. Country Cuban) is the Director of Online Communities at Flamingo Road Church, an intern at 8BIT, and a freshman at the University of West Florida. She is a Jesus lover, people lover, and a world changer. Her family has seriously impacted the way she lives her life. She gets her sense of humor and passion for helping others, from her mom. She gets her business sense and realistic expectations from her dad. She wishes she could match the game of her little sister, because her little sister has had more boyfriends in her 7 year life span, than Ileana has ever met, in her 18 years of living. She loves to think of herself as a comedian, and hopes that people are laughing with her, not at her. She is constantly being mistaken for celebrities such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Angelina Jolie. She also happens to enjoy reading, writing, some good country music, all things tech, and when autumn rolls around.... a frothy Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! I guess you could just say that she is your average 18 year old.. well.. not really.
